    The oddest thing is that I went back to verify after I read your comment, and I still didn't catch the error. My brain saw Keats and I thought to myself, "What is @sokanasanah going on about!"

    @gauri03 - I though of Harivansh Rai Bachan but was looking for a poetic connection. I didn't think of looking up the wiki page because the paa clue was so direct that I thought you were trying some kind of trick ;)
    forget the damp squid clue, it was fun! I need to come here more often.

    I confessed already, please don't let them haul me off to gitmo!

    (2)Yes, I know what you mean. Happens to me all the time - proof above. Took me days to catch a middle-school error in rhetorical terms.faintingsmiley

    Now I'd better stop before I go on about the edit window. :hide:

    Easy one:

    Two of the images hint at the name of this famous personality. The three images together represent one of his/her achievements.

    You ladies/and a brain-freeze gentleman abandoned me and bounded to rel. forum
    (kisi ne ek baar socha ki mere upar kya beeti hogi)
    (kisine mud kar ek baar dekha chalaang marne se pehle)


    I'll return when I cool off, my flared hair is limp, my enlarged nostrils contract, and my dumpty head does not explode by then.


    (expletives: $%!# $%!# !$%!#)
    ($%!#$%!#$%!# $%!#$%!# $%!# $%!# $%!#)
    (and some more $%!# $%!# $%!# $%!#)

    Bye. Gauri -- I did not want to ignore your mention.

    P.S: Thanks to a seagull who coveyed the message that someone was looking for me

    Such cruel and unusual punishment for momentary waywardness!

    @deepslike - Congratulations!!!!!! I just found out from Shanvy's thread. Now I'm donning my Mom's hat and saying that I hope you are reading good things, listening to some naamams daily and chanting the Santana Gopala mantram and Garbharakshambikai stotram and staying away from the rel forums. Even if you don't do any of those things, have fun! Enjoy! Pamper yourself. H&H nine months!

    Now about the clue, why do i only come up with Ashoka Chakravarthi. You said it was easy, maybe I'm too tired to think today :drowning

    Congratulations Deeps!! Wish you a safe and uneventful pregnancy. Keep solving these puzzles and that little one will be a pattern-matcher par excellence!

    I too have ended up with Ashoka Maurya. His greatest achievement being the spread of Buddhism (Peepal leaf)?

    Thanks Laks and Gauri:biggrin2:


    I can see how Ashoka fits...didn't think of that thinkingsmiley but I meant someone else..


    Clue: Come to more recent times... Obviously the context is India - the person = a giant in chosen field, and the achievement (recently in the news) highest possible.

    Okay, so the peepal leaf is the Bharat Ratna. We're looking at recent Bharat Ratna awardees...
